Enjoy life.

What truly beautiful world we
live in Nature gives us grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means Of enjoyment
We can desire no better when in per-
feet health but how often do the ma
jority OF people feel like giving it up
disheartened, discouraged and worn
out with disease, when there is no oc-
casion for this feeling, as every suffer
err can easily obtain satisfactory proof,
that GREEN'S august FlOwer, will make
them free from disease, as when born.
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint are
the direct causes of seventy-fve per

An Immense Treasure.

LONDON, May 16.-The financial
secretary of India has advised the
government of an immense amount
OF treasure, estimated at over $4,000,
600, which had been secreted in the
palace of Gwaior by the late Mahara-
jah The treasure had been sunk in
pits under vaults beneath The Senana,
and the secret was entrusted to few
confidential servants. The secretary
was present when the treasure was I'M
earthed. After removing tht earth to
a depth OF six feet the workmen un-
covered great hagstone,. Beneath
these stones were several pits, filled to
the brim with chiefly freshly coined
ruples. In each pit was a plate record
ing the amount of the treasure and
the names OF the officials who had as
sisted in secreting it. The govern
ment has taken the hoard as loan
from young Maharajah. The native
papers protest against this action Of
the government.

The Nashville american, the lead
ing Democratic journal in this State,
has again changed hands. 1t had de-
generated from the organ of Tonnes
see democracy to the mouth-piece of a
faction and a change became necessa-
ry. The american now has it in its
power to become again the central or
gan and chief exponent of the party
in Tennessee, but to do this it will
have to pursue a conservative course
on questions on which the party is
not united. We hope its first great
object will be the success of the Dem
ocratic party. If this is its aim there
will be no danger of its trying to turn
men out of the party because they
may have opinions different from
those it entertains on questions OF
state and national polity. TheDemo-
cratic party of the nation was never in
better condition. Under its wise man.
agement government expenditures
have been reduced and the country is
more prosperous to u degree beyond
our Widest dreams. 1t is marching
on to another great victory and we ir
Tennessee cannot afford to quarrel Of
divide. We must fall into line with
unbroken ranks.

This deal is only another evidence
of the fact that the G. G. & .. Com
pany means business and is able to do
just what has been promised by its
Representatives. President Johnson
told a reporter of the Charleston News
& Courier last week, among other
things, that the road would be com
pleted from Richardson, KY, to John
son City in the next eighteen months

it is the most important question now
before him. On last Wednesday night
the Secretrry Of the Treasury remain

the matter with him, He is being
urged by the advocates of tariff re-
duction to call an extra session Of Con-

OF considering revenue measures, But
Secretary Fairchild is so safe and CON
sentative a manager that there can be
no real cause of alarm concerning the
stringency of the money market,
whether Congress is specially conven-
ed or not. Besides the Secretary's
powers are sufficient, under existing
laws to enable him to ward off any
threatened danger. In the worst con-
tingency that can be immagined he is
at liberty to step into the open market
and buy bonds for Government ac-

DEATH ON THE RAIL.s5i
An Unkn0ygn HHan Killed Near Clay
mont TueRhnYs


A man, whose identity It has thus far
been impossible to establish, was struck
by the locomotive of the Delaware ex-
press, aouth-bound, near Clsymont sta
ton Tuesday afternoon and Instantly
killed. The unfortunate pedestrian was
walking ON the south. bound track, and as
the train came through the sharp curve
at Olaymont the engineer saw him about
rs feet ahead of the locomotive. The
man evidently was unaware OF the ap-
preaching train, as his eyes were turned
in the direction of the river. II was i'm
possible 10 stop the locomotive in time to
avert the accident and the man, unwit-
tingly, kept in his course, which lead to
his death. His head wasterribly crushed
and disfgured, and bis legs were broken
and mangied, death resulting instantly.
The remains were given over TO Coroner
Barnhill, who hold an inquest that night,
and the jury rendered verdict of acct
dental death. There was nothing about
the dead mans clothing by which he
could be identified. BE was about 5 feet
inches tall, dark hair slightly mixed
with gray, and about 80 years of age.
He wore dark clothing, with check shirt
and slouch hat. In one OF his pockets
we're two paper ballots headed "Repub-
lican Township Ticket, " giving the names:
Judge, j. Wagner Inspector, II.
Mccoy; Supervisors, David Murphy,
Isaac Heacock;n and full list of officers.
Two of these tickets were found in his
pockets which gave rise to the suppo-
sition that the man was going probably
to the polls near Linwood LAS some of the
names would suggest) TO vote at Tues
days election. Two TASKS of whisky
were also found in the mans pocket, and
IL is thought he was intoxicated at the
time of the accident. The body is at the
mnronA.

their death, the ground surrounding the
house has been dug up in numerous
places, in search of the treasure. Their
wills have been found, and on the day of
Mr.. Parks funeral, his was read. He
bequeathed everything to his wife and
her heirs, but since the wife died first
there seems to be some doubt of the heirs
being legally entitled to the possessions.

Olothing.
Emma Kelley, aged about years,
daughter of James Kelley, No. 9l6 West
Fourth street, died at O'Clock Monday
evening, from the effects of injuries re
ceiyed from her clothing accidentally
taking fire. The child was upstairs
apart from the other inmates Of the house
PLAYING about q bed room which was
heated by stove. About 1l.30 o'clock
she was heard running hurriedly from
the room to another part of the house and
then dashed down stairs to The frat floor,
appearing before her Mortified mother as
an animate mass of flames. There were
two of the burning girls little sisters in
the room wien she appeared and the
close contact of the fsmesto one of them
still further increased the anxiety of the
mother, but fortunately communication
of the flames was averted.
Mrs. Kelley worked heroically to rescue
the child from its fiery embrace, but the
flames obstinately held in for few
moments. at last yielding to the Mortified
mothers efforts to smother them.
DR.. Lukens, who was passing the
house, was called in, and DR.. Pyle, the
family physician, was also summoned, but
the child was 80 badly burned that medi-
cal treatment could only ease her suffer.
ing, the burns being pronounced fatal by
the physicians. The entire body of the
child was burned until the skin almost
peeled off, and the burns to the abdomen
were terrible, although the body was but
little disfgured.
How the child's clothing caught fire IL
not known, but it is presumed that he,
skirts accidentally came in contact witt
the hot stove and at once ignited. The
mother in trying to succor the untortu
nate girl had her hands badly burned.

From Eury Evening % yestf rday.
The house of William dupont, No. 901
Delaware avenue, was last evening visited
by burglars, who made light cliff" of
iewelry and decamped without leaving
any clue behind that would lead to their
detection.
The unwelcome call was ended about
1850 O'Clock, when member of the fam.
ily had occasion to go upstairs, and find.
ing the door of Mr.. duPonts sleeping
apartment locked, called downstairs,
frightened at the rightful supposition
that there were robbers In the house. The
burglar beat hasty retreat through the
house to the front porch roof, from which
he climbed over the vines to the ground
and escaped.
Among the articles stolen were a lady'i
gold watch, breastpin, gold bracelet and
q few other trinkets. When surprised th'
burglar had Just jimmied open bureau
which contained large amount OF valu
ables in the way Of jewelry, &c., and IL
ransacking other parts OF the room haf
left untouched great many valuables.
When the first noise of the burglar
was heard the family was at dinner ant
were under the impression that servan
had CONS upstairs. The burglars effectet
an entrance by the front window from tn,
roof of the portico.
Recently number of watch dogs il
/ the immediate vicinity have beer
poisoned, and this work is placed to tn
charge Of the same thieves, who did 1t a
a necessary preliminary to their hous
breaking.
Mr.. dupont, elsewhere in EVERY EVEN
| rNa, adyertises that he will pay $500 TO
| the arrest and conviction of the burgla
| or burglars and will furnish list of tn
missing articles as clue to the detectio
i of the burglars.
